F6F-5 Hellcat Mk.II based on HMS Ameer, East Indies Fleet,1945

A-24B Banshee: a US Army Air Force variant of the SBD Dauntless - flown
by Air Transport Command

F-4M Phantom II of No.56 Sqn. of the RAF celebrating the 60th Anniversary of John Alcock and
Arthur Brown making the first non-stop transatlantic flight in 1919.

Got that catalogue yesterday and it does have some interesting aircraft in it.

Re: New schemes: F4F/F6F/A-24B/F-4M

I have both the Wildcat and the A-24. Great color schemes. The A-24 needs a little research as it has an arresting hook and the hard rubber
tail wheel and a shiny finish. Closed cockpit just for Pappy. (I do not have a digital camera)

I thought the A-24 had a pneumatic tailwheel instead of the hard rubber one that was found on its naval counterpart. Have also seen a couple of photos of A-24s and they were minus the arresting hook too.
